FIELD: physics, computer engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to computer systems for diagnostic imaging. Disclosed is a system for delineating anatomical features in images used for image-guided therapy planning. The system includes a processor which receives an initial image of an anatomical structure in a patient from an imaging device. Said processor also detects anatomical landmarks in the initial image and compares positions of the detected anatomical landmarks with reference landmarks in a reference contour corresponding to the anatomical structure. The processor also compares the detected anatomical landmarks with the reference landmarks.
EFFECT: high accuracy of identifying anatomical features on an image through automated delineation of said features.
